Americans aren’t exactly known for being understated, and the Super Bowl is a decent representation of their love for excess.

The world’s biggest companies spend millions on commercials, the halftime show is completely over the top (sorry, J Timberlake, you flopped), and when you win you get a massive Super Bowl ring to commemorate the occasion.

Added bonus – the ring can be flogged off years down the line when the cash runs out due to a lack of financial foresight.

CNN have shown us each of the 51 rings handed out prior to the Philadelphia Eagles’ win early this morning SA time, and we have chosen 10 that stand out from the rest.

Let’s get stuck in:

Super Bowl II – Green Bay Packers:

Super Bowl V – Baltimore Colts:

Super Bowl VI – Dallas Cowboys:

Super Bowl XV – Oakland Raider:

Super Bowl XX – Chicago Bears:

Super Bowl XXVI – Washington Redskins:

Super Bowl XXIX – San Francisco 49ers:

Super Bowl XXXII – Denver Broncos:

Super Bowl XXXIV:

Super Bowl XLIII – Pittsburgh Steelers:

There are plenty of gems that we have skipped over, so if you enjoy looking at Rings then pop over here.

I reckon we should finish with the highlights from Super Bowl 52, right?
